What's the Title of Skip and Loafer's Opening Song?
The opening theme song of Skip and Loafer has been given the simple title Mellow.
The song is honest in its expression of the anxieties high schoolers face but remains easygoing to the ear.
The video clip displays beautiful art in colors that look pleasing together even when they're contrasting. Plus, the imagery just makes you warm inside -- mellow indeed!
Among the many Spring 2023 great openings, this is one of those that caught our eye the most with its beautiful colors and fun dance.
The dancing sequence is a reference to a cover from the Skip and Loafer manga, which is itself based on a La La Land dance, showing how much thought and work was put into every little detail.
Here Are Some of the Lyrics of Skip and Loafer's Opening Song
The lyrics of Skip and Loafer's opening do the themes of the school anime justice, combining genuine human connections and sweet romantic feelings with the doubts, loneliness, and stress that are all part of one's school years.
You’re so dazzling, so dazzling,
That I take my eyes off you.
Unable to find a single suitable word,
I can’t tell you anything.
The scattered reflected sun
Carries you away.
For some reason I felt so lonely,
That I looked down.
Because your perky laughter
In this such a small world
Echoes very beautifully,
I was saved.
If it will be an absurd future,
Repeating the same moments,
It’s okay if we’ll doubt,
Let’s just share all the doubts.
Mitsumi leaves her small town for Tokyo full of hopes and dreams. She wants to excel, and pave the path for a successful career, but also make friends and have fun.
Meanwhile, Sousuke proves to be an easygoing friend and happily offers support, but her sudden feelings for him become an additional source of confusion for the inexperienced Mitsumi.
Sousuke seems to genuinely enjoy the company of his new friend, but he's also carrying emotional baggage he struggles to express.
All this promises an engaging story in which both characters hopefully have a lot to learn from each other -- and the opening adds to the vibe.
